Force the offense to go where they do not want to go! Working the Line of Scrimmage • Defensive Linemen must pursue up and down the Line of Scrimmage. •DL cannot over-penetrate, creating open running lanes underneath them. •DL cannot chase backs in the backfield. •DL must pursue down the line of scrimmage or deeper in order to meet the ball carrier as soon as possible. Defensive Line Technique • Since our lineman will usually be aligned head up and slanting either direction, we should be in a balanced stance with either hand down. • Align 1 ½ yards from the helmet of the defensive lineman – do not crowd the ball! (WHJW adjustment – line up on the line of scrimmage.) • Be able to see the ball and move on the snap. • First step – lateral step in direction of slant, similar to a pull step. Work to the inside hip of the next lineman. • We want to touch his hip! Disrupt the linemen and keep them off linebackers. • Only after we touch the hip, read the block of the linemen and begin to work up field and find the ball carrier. 4-4 Stack Front Technique •In 4-4 Stack, defensive linemen will squeeze the nearest lineman and get big in their gap. • Step to the near number of the lineman and deliver initial blow with inside shoulder/forearm. • Drive the off-hand underneath the shoulder pads of the OL and squeeze the gap • Always keep shoulders square to LOS and do not look for the football until you control the OL!

  • Creating a Highly Reliable Organization Resilience
    2017–2018 JOHNS HOPKINS BAYVIEW NURSING ANNUAL REPORT Creating a Highly Reliable Organization Resilience. Integrity. Trust. Respect. Collaboration. Dear Colleagues, In this year’s Nursing Annual Report, I am happy to share with you 20 stories of our growth toward Creating a Highly Reliable Organization. These stories of resourcefulness, creativity and problem-solving demonstrate the vital role that our nurses play in the accomplishments of the Medical Center. These reports fall into a few broad themes: our identity as nurses; Lean management in action; technology in health care; and improving patient safety and satisfaction. You will find, however, that many of the articles address elements of all of these important ideas. Implementing significant process improvement projects such as these is a long and complex effort. In fact, some of these nurse-led initiatives spanned over several years, and have made a great difference in the clinical outcomes of our patients. Our nurses from every level of leadership were tasked with contributing to this report. Each narrative that you will read started with an “A3” problem, identified by staff on our units. In Lean management principles, A3 is a structured problem-solving and continuous improvement approach that breaks down large problems into smaller steps. I marvel at the way our staff took small steps to address large problems this past year—patient safety, infection rates, staff morale, communication failures, confusing workflows—and then measured their success using data. Working at the executive level, I spend most days thinking about strategic ideas, initiatives and issues that impact Johns Hopkins Bayview at a macro level.

  • PEE-WEE FLAG FOOTBALL and FLAG BOWL 2014 GUIDELINES (Updated 8/13/14)
    PEE-WEE FLAG FOOTBALL AND FLAG BOWL 2014 GUIDELINES (Updated 8/13/14) Coin Toss Start of the Game 1) The referee will flip the coin with the away team choosing heads or tails. The winning call will determine either a) Ball, or b) Direction 2) The losing call will determine the other option. 3) Start of the second half. The teams will switch directions and the team that started on defense is now on offense. There is no decision that needs to be made by coaches at half time. Playing Time / Timekeeping 1) All kids must play a minimum of 4 plays per half. Failure to play kids 4 plays will result as a game forfeited. This is consistent in regular season as well as flag bowl. (Coaches are encouraged to play each player the first four plays of offense or defensive series. It will eliminate this being an issue.) 2) Each game will be played with two 25 minute halves, separated by a 5 minute half time. 3) The time clock will start when the referee spots the ball and blows the whistle. You will have 45 seconds from that point to break the huddle. If there is a penalty you will lose a down and the ball will be spotted again. The clock will then start for another 45 seconds. 4) 2 minute clock will be in effect for the end of the first half and game. Clock will stop on missed pass, out of bounds, injury, change of possession. If team is up by 4 scores the clock will remain a running clock unless a time out is called.

  • Jr Raider Football Introduction
    JR RAIDER FOOTBALL INTRODUCTION Our Key to success will be determined by the quality of coaching, players and tools we have in the program. We will operate the same base playbook from 3rd grade to 8th grade so that the players and coaches all grow together year over year. This results in players and coaches not having to start fresh each year learning / teaching a new system from scratch. They pick up where they left off continuing to grow providing more effective use of time in mastering practice and game planning. Our playbook offers evrything a team needs to be successful. However a playbook will not guarantee success. Teaching the fundamental techniques needed to be a good football player is the key to building a successful team. Working hard together mastering these techniques and building towards a common goal develops the winning attitude a team needs to be successful. Therefore our focus is a step by step process that evolves as the season moves along. Building confidence in each player that they have all the tools to be successful along withthe knowledge of how to properly use each tool is the foundation. This will lead to a stronger more confident team that will make less mental errors by slowly developing each player to succeed. We use three step progression - individual drills vs air, control mode vs opponent holding pad then advance to live phase of game. A program that skips the base steps and rushes to live play during practice will struggle. Our job as coaches is to have a keen eye on the details starting with the stance and start.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • How Rugby Makes Better Football Players (This First Appeared in Gridiron Coach Magazine)
    How Rugby Makes Better Football Players (This First Appeared in Gridiron Coach Magazine) By Alex Goff (www.goffonrugby.com) Your High School season is over. Your players are already making plans to play other sports during the winter and the spring. What should they play? In the spring, especially, football coaches find themselves at odds with their players’ choices. But what if your players could play a sport that not only keeps them in shape for football, but actually makes them better football players? The sports is out there, it’s called rugby, and strangely enough some football coaches won’t let their athletes play the game. High-school age rugby is played throughout the USA, culminating in a national championship tournament in late May. The game itself is an ancestor of football, and is similar to a no-huddle, wishbone gridiron game with all two-way players. Forward passing is not allowed, so the ball must be advanced by hard running and intricate lateral passing. After a tackle, play continues as teams for essentially a compacted line of scrimmage and try to drive each other off the ball. Players and football coaches who have been involved in both sports agree that playing rugby can make for better football players, and more dedicated athletes. The improvement in fitness, hand-eye coordination, and tackling technique after a season of rugby is phenomenal," said Mark Bullock, who served as head football coach and head rugby coach for Kentwood High School in Kent, Washington before becoming the USA Under-19 rugby coach. "I always recommended my football players to play rugby is they weren’t playing a spring sport.

  • Flex Football Rule Book – ½ Field
    Flex Football Rule Book – ½ Field This rule book outlines the playing rules for Flex Football, a limited-contact 9-on-9 football game that incorporates soft-shelled helmets and shoulder pads. For any rules not specifically addressed below, refer to either the NFHS rule book or the NCAA rule book based on what serves as the official high school-level rule book in your state. Flex 1/2 Field Setup ● The standard football field is divided in half with the direction of play going from the mid field out towards the end zone. ● 2 Flex Football games are to be run at the same going in opposing directions towards the end zones on their respective field. ● The ball will start play at the 45-yard line - game start and turnovers. ● The direction of offensive play will go towards the existing end zones. ● If a ball is intercepted: the defender needs to only return the interception to the 45-yard line to be considered a Defensive touchdown. Team Size and Groupings ● Each team has nine players on the field (9 on 9). ● A team can play with eight if it chooses, losing an eligible receiver on offense and non line-men on defense. ● If a team is two players short, it will automatically forfeit the game. However, the opposing coach may lend players in order to allow the game to be played as a scrimmage. The officials will call the game as if it were a regular game. ● Age ranges can be defined as common age groupings (9-and-under, 12-and under) or school grades (K-2, junior high), based on the decision of each organization.
